Turkey Meatloaf

I am a huge fan of meatloaf.  It's good warm on a dinner plate, it's good cold in a sandwich, and this recipe is actually pretty good for you!  I've added a lot of veggies to boost the health-factor, but feel free to add more if you like!  (And if you find a particular veggie that is really yummy, please share in the comments!)

Ingredients 
1-lb package of lean ground turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup oats
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium size green pepper, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1/3 cup skim milk
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (yellow works, too, but Dijon is so much better. . . especially the seedy kind)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.  Mix turkey, egg, oats, onion, pepper, carrots, milk, and parsley together in a bowl using your hands (mix too much and your turkey may get tough, so be gentle and don't spazz out while mixing).  Shape the mixture into a mound on a lightly oiled cookie sheet or in a lightly oiled loaf pan.  Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard, then spread the glaze on top of the meatloaf.  Bake for 45 minutes or until juices run clear.
